So, already found out.. without maps on my phone my GPS doesn't want work all the time.

But when reinstalled and me not using it.... it is constantly running GPS and using network location services....

Maybe just a gmaps thing or it is my phone is retarded.... I will disable maps and keep running GPS since it seems disabling it kept my GPS from kicking on all the time. Gawd I hate Google maps even more now. Runs everything on its own. So dumb

Btw newest versions can't be disabled so I just uninstalled the stupid fukkin thing.

Anybody know of an app freezer on the market that will not break my phone like the last time I tried?

Would like to FREEZE maps rather then uninstall it. Since its deleted from my phone if I install it from market i can't disable it.

Edit! Hey latitude app is not running with maps as far as I can tell but would that maybe be the problem still as a background app? Never use latitude since I first opened it. Hmm.. and this why we all talk to each other instead of figuring it all out ourselves. Lol

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jerusry:
That's what I have but last time I used it the thing literally soft brickd my phone for some reason? Meaning would turn on and then lock up til i pulled battery. Then had to pull battery... several times so Had to reflash my Rom and all... it was weird. Maybe it was a fluke thing?

Most of you folks use TB?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] enosh816:
if you open gmaps, go into settings, location settings, disable location history. That is what is keeping your gps on. You can also disable location reporting, I leave mine on and it doesn't use that much bat but it does use some. I leave it on cause my friends and family use lattitude and location reporting lets them see where i am but only updates when I open maps. I think, at any rate I still get great battery with it on. But you deffinatly want location history off.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Same results here. If I have Maps installed, it runs in the background even when I am not using it. If I uninstall, I can't get a lock. I thought it was just me. I have hated Maps for a year now for this reason. I will try adding it back and freezing in ROM Toolbox Pro App Manager

All my stuff is set to so nothing from beginning. Went to every possible settings or changeable parts and Nothing is enabled. And latitude isn't running. So frustrating! Wish gmaps didn't kill the **** outta my battery. So it is gmaps fault not GPS. Hmm. Anybody know of a better map/nav app?

GPS issues

I've been using the matrix kernels since early in the gingerbread days, best kernel I basically can't live without it on my device (Nexus S i9023). Though at least sometime in the last 2-3 builds 15-17.5 I have GPS lock issues, so basically I can't use Navigator any more. I know it's the kernel because I've tested clean installs with and without the kernel of both stock and CM9. Each time without the kernel GPS works again. So now I'm on a clean install of the newest CM9 nightly, but without the matrix kernel which I'd like to be running again very much as the battery life with it is massively superior. Mathkid, do you know anything about this, or consider having a look into it...

Thanks for you awesome work in any case.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Download gps test from the market (it will always be the market to me) and let us know. I have had no issues with gps. I am locking on to 11 of 11 satellites inside my house.

Mk,

I flashed the cm9 version of 17.5 and was having sleep of death and shut down issues so I raised the volts 2x (which I used to never have to do) I then reflashed 17.5 and still am having those issues so I raised the volts 2x again still not fixed. Any ideas?

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
i dont think its mathkids kernel, because it works for others including myself. just because with another kernel gps works with your setup doesnt necessarily mean mathkids kernel has GPS broken...Im on the 3/10 CM9 kang btw with the 17.5 cm9 ramdisk. when you do your clean install, are you flashing the kernel after flashing the rom (as in before you boot up for the first time?)

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
which CM9 ROM are you on? what are you running the CPU at (min/max) and how did you flash the kernel? did you do a clean install or what if anything did you wipe?

if you havent tried a full wipe and fresh install, you should try it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 8BitVoxel:
Yep already tried GPS test with and without the kerne. With matrix kernel it just idles with no lock for ages then gets 2 sats and no green light, this is while standing outside. Without the kernel I get many sats very quickly. I have now realised I posted this in the 4G thread, not the 3G thread, could there be differences with the i9023 GPS radios, does mathkid and associated testers have access to each variant of the Nexus S... (I did and always have flashed the appropriate kernel btw for standard Nexus S, not 4G).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] TheRealNap0le0n:
Instead of jumping through hoops for battery life I just bought juice defender ultimate. once set up properly you get all radios cut on screen of and can set it up to run schedules etc.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
With every phone I've had, juice defender has made my battery life worse. It uses more battery monitoring and shutting down apps than not having them trying to open in the first place.

I am getting +20 hours of battery life everyday. Freezing wallet, tags, sprint menu, nfc services, google+, Facebook and keychain is not jumping through hoops. Especially when you never use these programs and services and only have to freeze them once. This took me less than 2 minutes during the initial setup.

Its great that you are using Matr1x but since your question is not related to the kernel, your issue is going to be best resolved in your ROM thread. Im sure someone here might be able to answer but you would be better off searching in the thread of whichever ROM you are using to help keep this thread on topic.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] 8BitVoxel:
I've tried both clean stock and clean CM9 (yesterdays 13th build) and previously the 10th build. I've tried before first boot and after first boot, every time no matter what the senario as soon as Matrix kernel is installed I loose the ability to get GPS lock, as soon as I go back to the default kernels of either stock or CM9 GPS works again. And yes I'm using the CM9 matrix kernel when in CM9 and stock Matrix kernel for stock. I really don't see how it's not the kernel... How can I have a "setup" when I'm even trying this with a clean install...

I've also repeated all this testing with the new 18 kernel, still no GPS lock... This is on a Nexus S i9023.

Anyone care to comment on the new swap option in the kernel? I know what swap is but is it pre configured or do we need to set it? Will it only work with certain roms?

Didn't the phone already have something like this? When you look at running apps there is a cached section, always thought this was similar to swap.

I would like some info on this as well please. I have been neglecting my Nexus this past week and I am curious about these new features
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
theres an init.d script called 55swap (in init.d) you can execute it. It its hard to tell if it makes a big difference because the damn kernel runs really well as is. MK gave me this info too just in case.

I am running the Sprint 4.0.4 build (lame I know) and on a lark loaded the 17.5 BFS kernel. It ran fast! but wifi wouldn't enable - I would press the button and it would slide over and then back.

Then today I loaded the 18.0 CFS kernel, and it is working fine.

I haven't tried the 17.5 CFS or 18.0 BFS, so I'm not sure which the fix was. Anyway if someone else is having the problem, 18.0 CFS is working for me...

Anybody getting lower scores on Quadrant since updating to V.18 from 17.5? My score went from 2200 to 1300

Codename 1.4.0

Lionheart 200/1300
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] chalan30:
Yes afaik you are right on both counts, i would make sure and flash the kernel before the thing boots up. I usually get better results that way. maybe try not underclocking it, the battery savings may not be that much better for you especially if you get good signal where you live. And now that MK has the CM9 ramdisk versions and regular versions, make sure and use the one appropriate for your ROM. You may already know this already so forgive me if im suggesting the obvious ;)

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

Mine actually went up, but i never benchmark on anything but ondemand or performance,and only with the sliders pegged at max. With everything the same on my setup the new kernel (bfs CM9) got me 3014 on with ondemand and 1533/1533.

Here it is with lionheart and 110/1300, I got 2876 first run, but i have swap enabled (could possibly be helping) and i have selective live OC overclocking everything between 100 and 1000 1300 is still 1300. So its not an exact comparison but there may be something you can change to bring the benchmark up. different kernel versions act differently and may require different tweaks

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:17 PM ----------

swap modifies the minfree settings and so do some of zeppelinrox supercharged scripts... Im not sure if there would be a conflict or not, just thought id mention it fyi

Yeah it doesn't matter
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] nbutala:
Also I read about supercharging. Do your ramdisk versions have the supercharging built in? Lastly, I've been reading other people post about having raised their voltages. I thought undervolting saved battery. Why overvolt?

How the hell are your quadrant scores so high!!

This was 1460 min/max on performance.

Btw I'm on vh gomez's lota r1 rom.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Skunk Ape1:
Could very well be your rom. But benchmarks mean very little. Many people go by what runs smooth on their phone. That's the true test. There are several roms that I could name that just benchmark slow. But if you like the tweaks and options and it runs smooth why would you worry about a benchmark.

Others look for the combination rom and kernel that produce the highest benchmarks. They often take the screenshots and then use a completely different rom as their daily driver.

So what rom are you currently using? And are you prepared to leave it just for a higher benchmark? I can tell you a good combination for bench marking it it is really that important.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] NS4G.John:
Vh gomez's lota r1. Its a pretty nice combination but battery life isn't the best and every so often it just full on locks up for like 30 seconds then a bunch of things fc. But its a really solid combo besides that. I have no need to brag about quadrant scores but I think I want to perform a full back up and try something new. Have any smooth/fast setups in mind?

We should probably take this to PM so we don't clog the thread up btw.
